Did someone associated with this movie have a thing for Jane Austen? I'm not a big Jane Austen fan but i did notice the title character's name was Emma played convincingly by Vanessa Angel. Miles Bennett, well played by Kieren Hutchison, was her ex-boyfriend from high school. They accidentally find themselves in the same hotel at Christmas time. I note here that Elizabeth Bennett was the name of the main protagonist in Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice." Googling the name Cassandra, it appears this was the name of Jane Austen's older sister in real life. I'm thinking this movie might be 'very' loosely based on Jane Austen's last novel "Emma" about a love triangle of sorts. Notably, Jason London did a very nice job in his role as the wise hotel bartender, Carl. A pleasant Christmas story.
